Incident Report
Crowded shortly after the start by HEALTHY HEALTHY. When questioned Y L Chung stated that as his horse has a tendency to lay in in its races he elected to allow the horse to race away from the stand rail to ensure that it was able to travel comfortably during the event. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.

Jumped only fairly from gate 1, raced in midfield on the inside, saved ground on turn, unbale to obtain clear run in straight.

Incident Report
Jumped awkwardly. After the 600 Metres BUNDLE OF CHARM (B Avdulla) improved into a narrow run between SPARKLING FELLOW and TACTICAL VICTORY. Near the 450 Metres TACTICAL VICTORY then was steadied when crowded by BUNDLE OF CHARM which was taken out by SPARKLING FELLOW when that runner was racing tight to the inside of THUNDER KIT (L Hewitson) which shifted out and away from HAYDAY (M Chadwick). SPARKLING FELLOW and BUNDLE OF CHARM then raced tight for some distance thereafter when THUNDER KIT was unable to relieve the pressure to those runners, due to being placed in restricted room to the outside of HAYDAY. B Avdulla, L Hewitson and M Chadwick were all asked to exercise more care in similar circumstances. The performance of TACTICAL VICTORY, which finished tailed out, was considered unacceptable. Before being allowed to race again, TACTICAL VICTORY will be required to perform to the satisfaction of the Stewards in a barrier trial and be subjected to an official veterinary examination. A veterinary inspection immediately following the race did not show any significant findings.
